Choosing a floating shelf starts with what you want to display and how far you want it to project from the wall. Mill Hill Interiors’ range includes 150mm, 170mm and 200mm depths in oak, walnut and white.
150mm: the shallowest option
A 150mm shelf offers the shallowest profile in this range. Start here when you want a less projecting display, then measure the base of each item to check it fits.
170mm: a middle option
A 170mm shelf provides a middle option. Compare it with your planned display rather than choosing by appearance alone: a paper template can help you picture the shelf’s footprint.
200mm: more display depth
A 200mm shelf gives you the greatest depth of these three options. The 200mm Deep Oak Floating Shelf comes in lengths from 500mm to 1200mm, helping you match the shelf to your available wall space.
Measure before choosing
Before choosing, measure both your display items and the wall area. Check the individual product’s fitting guidance and load limits too, since depth alone doesn’t determine what a shelf can safely support.
